Arizona Demographic-Economic Characteristics and Patterns

This section provides an update on Census 2010 demographics and a richer set of demographic-economic measures for 2012 and 2014 for the state of Arizona.

The table presented below shows demographic-economic characteristics for the state based on the American Community Survey (ACS). ACS provides post-Census 2010 annual updates for a wide array of demographic-economic data not available from Census 2010.

ACS estimates are available for all geographies (U.S. wall-to-wall) using the 5-year estimates. For areas of 65,000 population or more, 1-year estimates are available.
See more about ACS. Estimates shown in this profile are based on ACS 1-year estimates. See more about comparing these data over time.
